Education is the way out of poverty
We help underprivileged children in Kenya stay in school and learn.
A child who is fed and well can learn
Food, clothing and medical care, so nothing stands between a child and school.
Skills that earn a living
Practical training that helps young people find work.
For every child in need - whatever their background or faith
Where we come from
Founded in Nairobi in 2025
Winnie Wishes Trust was founded by Moses Muthaka Gacugu, who leads the Reach Out Programme at Eastlands College of Technology. It rests on one belief: a child’s future should not be decided by what their family can afford.
Our mission
We help children in need across Kenya get an education - and everything that makes learning possible: food, clothing, health and confidence. For every child, with no profit motive.
Our vision
A Kenya where every child is in school, fed, healthy and confident enough to succeed in life.
Moses Muthaka Gacugu
Founder and Chair of the Trustees
Moses Muthaka is a Kenyan educator and youth-development practitioner working with young people from disadvantaged areas of Nairobi. He helped launch Eastlands College of Technology, where he leads the Reach Out Programme.
